The Bishops Lecture.

Rt. Reverend Bishop Tutle lectured
Friday night at the Calvary church
to a good, though no large audience.
The lecture was prefaced by singing
by the regular choir, and the reading
of two lessons by the rector, J.J. Will
kins. The first from Numbers, 10th
chapter the second from John 29th
chapter. The bishop in his prelimin-
airy remarks spoke distinctly to the
Calvary chapter of the Brotherhood of
St. Andrew and extoled the fellow
ship which babe them stretch out a
hand here and there, and the strength
there is in being banded together. He
said that in looking about it is easy to
discover what strength there is in the
world, in men who seek for pleasure,
for riches, for greed, the powerful
corporations, the reign of selfishness,
etc., and how weak the Christian peo-
pie are compared with these powerful
forces. 1t is the nature of young
men 10 be generous, they were gener-
Gus always, and though evil often
came out of this good, yet the first in
stinct of the young man
was that it was the
thing to be generous and they were
generous. Going further, the speaker
entreated young men to come over to
the weaker side and help to fight the
battle against evil and then, with
profound indifference to the fact that
doctors must live through the fOllies
or humanity, he charged young men
to take care of themselves physically
that as the resurrection of the body
was assured and that it is an absolute
command to care for it, there should
be no excuses, no intemperance, and
BODY and mind should both be taken
care of. These were as naught, how
ever, without the moral and spiritual
were also cared for. Education of the
mind merely, is not enough, but there
should be a gratitude and an obliga-
ton to the Master, which would pre-
serve morally. These remarks were
followed by the lecture, based ON the
9Th verse of the 18th chapter of Eccle-
siastes, beginning "Rejoice oh young
man in thy youth, and let thy heart
cheer thee in the days of thy youth. T"
The bishop believed that Solomon
meant this in its literal Interpretation
and the man or woman who believed
there could be nothing good come from
laughter and glee were mistaken.
Youth is the time for rejoicing, and as
it is the time for rejoicing. so it is the
time to show gratitude for the many
blessings of youth not wait until the
sweats of noon or the fear and tremb-
ling of evening, but in the morning
that is glad and free and bright. for
God will bring the young to judg-
ment as well as the old, and it is well
to live with this before them, not as a
fear. but as a warning that life is
meant to be real and earnest"
Of course no idea, or at least only
a very meagre ore can be gained from
this brief synopsis of the bishops talk
and the eloquent language, practical
truths and clear explanations must be
left to the inauguration of those who
failed to hear it. The speaker has a
I fine delivery, and his every word is
rich with meaning and expressive in
utterance. He will Officiate at Calvary
church this morning, and also this
evening, and after the last mentioned
service will administer the apostolic
rite of confirmation.

criticises the Waco Advance for say
ing that the government ought not to

only for the graulicatlon of appetite
and passion. and who loves society
because society furnishes them their
prey The difficulty j. that the Adj
vance attributes certain qualities TO a
chad citizen which do nOtnccessarily
attach to him. The fear of God has
nothing to do with the matter; it j. a
mans relation to his fellow man tina,
likes his status as member OF socie.
" and the value of his citizenship. If
the intention is to revive the spirit of
the Praise.Cfod Barebones era and

He Enjoyed 1t.

S. P. Norman, in advance of Mar
garet Mather, sends the following as
his first experience under the Interstate
Law. He was in Lewiston, Me-, at the
time: To-day have had my first ex-
perience in excess baggage, and en-.
joyed it. When I arrived here did
not order my trunk up to the hotel as
usual, for the simple reason that
could do without it for the day. During
the afternoon I was going past the de-
pot, and thought l would drop in and
recheck it to Portland. The baggage
man said he must charge me for excess,
as the trunk would surely weigh 300
pounds. I ventured that it wouldn't
weigh over 200. He lowered his esti-
mate to $50, and demanded that it be
weighed. The baggageman hauled
that trunk the full length of the plat
form-about block. It weighed just
